Special Moves
1. The Trigger - qcf+P qcf+C comes out faster than qcf+A, but recovers slower Negates normal projectiles Can be followed up by Second Shot (f+B) or Second Shell (f+D)
1a. Second Shot - f + B (after The Trigger) Projectile that moves faster if qcf+C was used than if qcf+A was used
1b. Second Shell - f + D (after The Trigger) Vertical anti-air that knocks opponent into the air for juggles
2. Crow Bites - dp+P dp+A is supercancellable on both hits, dp+C is supercancellable on the first two hits on the ground dp+C can be followed up by f+D, which is an overhead hard knockdown. The f+D followup is free cancellable out of dp+C has some startup invincibility Free cancellable into Free cancellable out of on all hits
	f+
3. Blackout - qcf+K Teleport's K' forward. qcf+B goes half screen length and qcf+D goes full screen length Can be hit out of it fairly easily

	Air
	Air
4a. Narrow Spike - (during Minute Spike) qcb+K Low attack Supercancellable Free cancellable out of
DMs
1. Heat Drive - qcfx2+P A version comes out faster, but C version will hit if the opponent is right in front of you Can be held to make unblockable (takes a long time though) Hard knockdown
2. Chain Drive - qcf hcb+P K' throws his sunglasses. If he whiffs, he will stand there for a long time, otherwise he will dash forward Hard knockdown qcf hcb+C is more likely to juggle than qcf hcb+A (mainly if used after his qcf+C, f+D)
SDMs
1. Chain Drive - qcf hcb+AC Same properties as qcf hcb+P, except it is not a hard knockdown
HSDMs
1. Crimson Star Road - qcb+C~A A must be pressed immediately after C K' travels forward a distance slighty more than his roll Unblockable			File:QcbCA.png

Notes

• There exists a bug where, if K' did his qcf+P on a waking up K9999, who decided to do his db hcb df+P moon DM, the moon DM will be negated entirely by the qcf+P. K9999's sphere animation will still be visible but since it was negated, K' can now just walk right through it
